Tag Archives: baked nutella churros

​We love churros ! Well, who doesn’t ? I have been hoping to make some for a long time. But personally, I cannot eat too much fried food. Not that they don’t taste good, my very sensitive stomach just can’t handle a lot of oil. I guess that’s both a good thing and a bad thing……

I remembered watching a video in which people make churro ice-cream bowls, what a great idea ! So I thought, since Easter is coming up, why don’t I bake some churro bowls and turn them into little nests ! I decorated mine with some feuilletine that I have, which is a crispy crumb mixture of crepes. You may be able to find them in some specialty kitchen store. I got mine from the Gourmet Warehouse in Vancouver. Or you can just use cookie crumbs, pretzel sticks, even some popcorns. With some chocolate eggs on top, they look exactly like little nests ! And I am sure the kids are going to love them ! Have a Happy Easter !

Makes about 8-10 nests

For the nests (choux paste)

200 mL water

90 g unsalted butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

30 g demerara or brown sugar

120 g all-purpose flour

3 eggs

2.5 mL pure vanilla extract

For the fillings

7.5 g ground cinnamon

45 g granulated sugar

30 g unsalted butter, melted

Nutella spread

Cookie crumbs, pretzel sticks or feuilletine

Easter chocolate eggs

To make the cinnamon sugar, mix together ground cinnamon and granulated sugar, set aside

To prepare the choux paste, heat together water, butter, salt and demerara or brown sugar in a pot over medium heat until just starting to boil

Turn heat down to low, add flour all at once

Stirring constantly, cook until a thin film of paste formed at the bottom of the pot, about 5 minutes
